Reactivity and Theoretical Studies of the Unusual Phosphaalkenes cis/trans-[Cp2(OC)4Mo2{μ-η1:η2-P(Ph)C(H)Me}]
摘要:
The title complexes provide rare examples of the coordination of a phosphaalkene to a binuclear transition-metal fragment, and the reactivity of these complexes toward a variety of organic and inorganic reagents is reported. A DFT study suggests that the pi -bond of the phosphaalkene moiety is essentially lost on coordination, with both the P=C pi and pi* orbitals being used in bonding to the dimetal core.
